Burmese Dagon Charm Bead - With Eye Totem - Copper Alloy - Base Width 2cm

Charm bead from a Buddhist temple in Myanmar. Copper alloy. Solid cast. Year of origin unknown, estimated to be from the 19th-20th century. After arriving in Taiwan, it has been cleaned to remove oxidized patina. The bead appears bright yellow in photos, but it will oxidize and darken again if not polished regularly. The alloy composition of the charm bead contains gold, but in a low proportion. Cinnabar is added and melted together during the refining process. Due to its extremely strong magnetic field, it can suppress ghosts, evil spirits, and other Yin entities. It serves as an excellent protective, barrier-creating, and lucky amulet. It is also often used for consecration and creating barriers. Today, some people use it for spiritual cultivation and meditation. Placing it in a home altar or car can alter the Feng Shui and magnetic field. It is now affixed to a stainless steel disc base with a 2cm diameter. The size of the charm beads can vary significantly depending on the diameter of the base. It can be carried as a personal charm, hung from the waist, or attached to a keychain or mobile phone as a lucky protective amulet. As for the efficacy of Dagon charm beads, you may search online.
